Comments Thread For: Charlo Calls Losing WBO 154-Pound Belt 'Unfair,' Feels WBO 'Been At My Neck A Very Long Time'

[tomhawq]

He's been in a weak division for so long he thought it will never end. Tzsyu comes along and his injury suddenly takes a year to heal, then takes an escape route for a money fight. He wants his cake and eat it. These Charlos are the biggest jokes in boxing.

Yeah, the injury should be the source of some fans' curiosity. It suddenly disappeared when the Canelo fight was presented.

Both Charlos should have been stripped a long time ago.

Makes the Tszyu fight even more lucrative as an Undisputed unification fight

Big difference in how WBO treats Jermell, in comparison to how the WBC treats Jermall! I don't have a problem with WBO decision, but I do have a problem with the WBC!

The way I see it is Charlo enters the ring undisputed regardless if a trinket is pulled because he beat everyone; he is the kingpin at 154. If he defeats Canelo, he becomes undisputed in two weight classes at the same time. In the eyes of the boxing world pulling a trinket from him won't change his status. Someone else will have to win the WBO title or be given it to them for anything to be up for dispute. But if he defeats Canelo, he is absolutely top 6 PFP.

This is yet another reason why none of the belts matter.
none of them

Charlo was that kid on the playground who got the ball and then wouldn't throw it, run with it, bounce it, or nothin'. He just holds the ball and stands there looking around. So they come and take the ball away from him, and his feelings are hurt.

If Tsyzu was a real champion he wouldn’t accept a belt without winning it. Wouldn’t even feel
like a champ if he didn’t beat anyone to earn the belt. How long can a belt belong to a champ if they didn’t really step in the ring to win it? These new age champs are fu.king chumps.

The difference is Tszyu is reading and willing to fight Charlo but Charlo is not down. He's chasing money which is cool, but don't hold the belts hostage. And don't make this about Tszyu, its about Charlo's inactive, injury faking, non title defending ass. What ur doing by trying to point to Tszyu is de****able. Its like getting caught for a crime, and while ur getting handcuffed, u say its not just me, he's hiding behind that car over there. Arrest him too! Ur a rat

Tim Tzyu fought Tony Harrison in a 20,000-seat arena - that's what you're missing.

Charlo is not a PPV-selling guy. He's popular and has a big promoter, but his purse in the Castano rematch was one million dollars.

$1,000,000 *.03 = $30k. When dude is fighting once a year.... that's not very much money. Not enough to get you out of all your obligations. By comparison, when Canelo fights, he cuts them a check for over half a million bucks.

Tzyu is becoming a big draw in Australia. Has a famous name. TV networks in America like him. If he gets a title and fights two or three bums in a year, that's more money in the WBO's pocket than Charlo's putting in.

So both guys have their teams go to the WBO and advocate for this and that, and they want to keep both guys happen, but because Charlo isn't bringing them a lot of money, the rules say he should be stripped, AND the guy that's going to take his belt will bring them similar or better money, they're going to go ahead and strip him.

Wow, you walked that question down. I hate to seem cynical but I'm always looking for the financial angle and your break down makes perfect sense....Thanks.

I honestly feel like they’re not only doing Charlo wrong, but Crawford wrong too. They know that Crawford is eying a 154 pound Undisputed clash with Charlo. They’re screwing over Bud smh.

Wbc should take a lesson for jermall not jermell shoulve had the belt taken 2 yrs of inactivity with no 90 days time table to return is holding up 160 & Canelo all honesty. Strip his belt allow Adames vs Janibek for such
